dannythemermaid's taste

Archetype

Suspicious of comfort. With a streak of The Ironist.

12% of Buds. Today's reading; it moves as they rate.

Work that unsettles: bleak, open, demanding. They trust discomfort more than reassurance and rate the thing that made they argue.

Where it goes wrong: Difficulty is not depth. Sometimes the cold thing is just cold, and you rated it up for the chill.

More about the Provocateur

Avoids: Comfort, closure, and being told how to feel. Warmth on its own reads as a sales pitch.
How they rate: Your five stars go to the difficult. Your one star goes to the smooth. The middle is where you are bored.
Good company: The Formalist respects you, the Ironist enjoys you, and the Comfort Seeker is your most productive opposite.
Against the crowd: You are the reliable spicy take: harsher than the crowd on beloved warmth, kinder to the punishing and the strange.

Further out is a stronger lean than other Buds.

Each spoke is one dimension; further out means a stronger lean that way than other Buds. A big shape is a strong, unusual taste; a small one is close to the middle of everyone.
